As we age, training the right muscles becomes essential for maintaining strength, preventing injuries, and promoting overall health 💪. Often, people focus on muscles they can see in the mirror, neglecting the crucial ones that support our daily activities.
In this episode, we discuss the top five muscle groups to prioritize:
1. **Glutes**: Vital for back and knee health, strong glutes can improve posture and physical performance.
2. **Core**: Proper core training enhances stability and prevents injuries, making it fundamental as we age.
3. **Hamstrings**: Strong hamstrings protect the knees and contribute to better mobility.
4. **Upper Back**: A strong upper back supports good posture and shoulder health, reducing the risk of chronic pain.
5. **Calves**: Calf strength is key for balance and overall mobility, which is especially important as we get older.
For those looking to train smarter, this episode offers science-backed guidance on focusing on the right muscle groups.
